A chapter in 200 Years of Friedrich Engels, 2022, pp 137-151 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter aims to highlight how Engels’ influence on the leaders of the Italian labour movement, in the second half of the nineteenth century, from 1848 to 1895, was bound to project the Italian movement into an international strategy, especially in connection with the possible outbreak of the social struggle within the Tsarist Empire. Faced with the “Fasci Siciliani”, Engels embraces the Manifesto scheme: to act as an independent party, while supporting the consequent democratic currents throughout the real movement. The prevailing tendency of the Italian Socialist Party to operate on the basis of a practical scheme, independent of theory, will open doors, a decade later, to Bernstein’s revisionism.
